The flowers above in our garden look battered in the rain, which was heavy and almost continuous in the last 48 hours.
The flowers below look less affected and seem to maintain some of their lustre and colour.
The flowers respond to the rain in different ways!
The plant below with its flowers look least affected. The flowers retained most of the usual fragrance.
All the three categories of flowers above adapt to rain fall in some way or other. The ability to overcome is evident.
The human resilience is also pronounced when stretched or stressed. A family who has recently faced a terrible blow to their family's wellness looked ready to move on although the heaviness and grief of the event is only slowly fading away from their awareness. Their visit refreshed us because of hope and endurance they conveyed in their conversation.
The bird calls are subdued during this spell of rain. But they live singing!
It is their inner resolve that makes it happen!
With the power supply disrupted for 20 hours now and no electricity to pump water and to run the refrigerators, it was encouraging to watch the flowers and birds endure the weather with an overcoming spirit!
